Author: Saugata Chakraborty

Contrary to what the title suggests, there is nothing mundane about this book. It’s a perfect elixir when not-so-mundane life stressors bog you down!!

The story is an anecdotal account of Shantilal Biswas who goes through the curveballs life throws in his direction, with admirable tenacity and grit. The journey is laced with humour and the reader smiles throughout. A few instances also make you laugh out loud and you can’t help but compare Shantilal’s situation with your own!

The author’s wit, play with language and humour stand out throughout the book. Nothing is preachy in the book, yet it makes you stop and think.

This book isn’t to be just read. It’s to be savoured!

My only grouse is the book ended sooner than it should have and I was left wanting for more!
